In case any of you are running cinnamon desktop (probably nobody,) there's a desklet called *Command Result* that you can make into your own personal block clock.

Install electrum (`sudo apt-get install electrum`) on your desktop.

If you're running your own bitcoin full-node with an electrum server, then fill in your private electrum IP below.  If not, find a public one and use that.

Go to *startup applications* and add this command to be run upon login:
```
electrum daemon -s [Your Private Electrum Server IP]:50002:s -1 -d
```

Then, install the desklet mentioned above and add a command named `BTC Block Height` with the following, and set it up update very minute.
```
electrum  getinfo | jq -a '.blockchain_height'
```

Now you have a desktop block clock!
